HC Deb 08 June 1882 vol 270 cc492-3
LORD JOHN MANNERS

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the Land Commissioners had made any suggestions for improving the mode of enforcing their orders for the erection of cottages on farms the rents of which had been reduced by the Land Court; and, if so, whether the Government proposed to introduce a measure in accordance with those suggestions?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, in reply to the Question of the noble Lord the Member for North Leicestershire, I beg to say that the Land Commissioners have offered suggestions for amending the law for enforcing orders made by them for the erection of labourers' cottages on all farms where judicial rents have been fixed and such orders made. I can promise that the suggestions shall receive careful attention; but I cannot as yet make any statement as to the precise intentions of the Government with respect to them.
